  • Abstract
    A fluid speed measuring system based on Bernoulii´s equation of flowing fluid is presented. The necessary square-root extraction is performed numerically to reach the advantages of numerical display and the possibility of using the device as a data source of the computer controlling the process. Simple recursive square-root extraction algorithm is derived and the statistics of the roundoff error is considered.
